The magnificent seven

As the Cold War reached its height in the late 1950s, America and the Soviet Union were locked in a fierce battle to be the first country to put a man into space.

It was a struggle that encapsulated the hopes and dreams of two proud nations, but after the Soviets launched the unmanned satellite Sputnik in 1957, America was racing to catch up.
